Hi, I would like to add something since I have had some time to think more about your inquiry. I am going to have to ease into this reply as it is early morning here and I am dealing with the instant rush I get when waking up and my thought process. As far as my disappointment and not having turn out the way I wanted, I find that amusing. The fact is nothing in my life has turned out the way I expected. The only way that has ever happened is if I had control over the out come. Relying on someone to come to my rescue in any aspect of my life has never happened. This has been my reality. This situation has never changed and I don’t see it changing now. Just so you know, I have been seen by a host of mental professionals to. One in particular since I went off work for the PTSD problem. A very caring psychologist. Yes there have been too many psychiatrists and they are worse than the medical doctors I have seen. I don’t need to see drug pushers and that is all they are about. The area where I use to work, Compton and Watts, I saw a lot of them. I was around the users of those drugs all day. From my observation the only difference between those drug dealers and the psychiatrists is the clothes they wore. At least the drug dealers don’t pretend to be anything other than what they are. As you can tell I am angry but I am very observant. Psychologists, are better in the respect in the fact that they are trained to listen to you. You spend a longer time with them than any other medical professional and in my opinion they get to know way more about that person than any medical doctor. A good can spot who is a hypochondriac and who is for real. I have spent more time and have gotten way more real help and understanding from that lady than anyone else. Unfortunately she missed my problem of Central Sensitization Syndrome. She never heard of this condition before even though her husband was a vascular surgeon and both her sons are doctors. She felt terrible when I told her. She has been a psychologist for over 30 years. Being the type of person she is, she went out of her way to research this problem on her own. Being in the medical community for so long, she has a lot of resources and other doctors to call and she did that for me. Unfortunately she has come to the same conclusion as me. Not enough research and not enough people with Central Sensitization Syndrome. The reality is there is nothing she can help me with. Talking is part of therapy and I have a very large problem talking about anything to with my life or my medical problems. Stress is the reason and even the thought process starts my crap. It is interesting in a way how anything affects everything with this syndrome. I do understand the process but it is annoying.

I would like to post one last thing as after reading way to many posts from this and other topics, this is way too sad for me. There are just too many who are confused about what is really happening to them. In some cases or in my estimations they are just too desperate and are willing to just try anything to relieve the pain they are in. To me, at best, those things they are taking or using are just temporary and won’t last. In most cases, these people will pay a price for these attempts. Things that you didn’t have beforehand, like new medical problems, will happen. I have only 3 doctors now that I see on an off. Every once in awhile they forget my chemical sensitivity and feel sorry for me an offer me a pharmaceutical drug to help. I understand but I have learned by almost dying a couple of times from that crap of Fentynal use, that an easy short term supposed fix, is foolish and deadly. This may sound crazy to anyone but I would rather have the sometimes excruciating pain that I experience every once in awhile, then death. At least with the feeling of pain, you still know your alive. Here is a reality that I would like to share with anyone who takes the time to read this post. All the people that were friends or I have known since high school and used opiates are dead now. I watched them go through all the stages of how opiates slowly kill you. That is one of my reasons I stayed away from crap like that. I became desperate after my surgery, and trusted doctors to keep me informed as to what they were prescribing me for pain. I never looked into it myself. Not one of these doctors told me what Fentynal was. If I had known, I would never had used it. I have heard all the bull about why this happened but a doctor is suppose to know about the medications he is giving you and then tell you about the benefits and the risks so you can decide for yourself if this is worth it. They failed me in that responsibility. I am paying a price for that for the rest of my life. If you think it can’t happen to you, you would be wrong. I am going to have to stop writing for awhile and reading all these sad posts. This is a good web site.

I have run into this situation before and maybe you could shed some light on it for me. People disappear on this site. I don’t mean they become invisible, they just stop communicating. I did have a conversation with two ladies who have Central Sensitization Syndrome but that was very short and lasted one time since I joined. I have used other web sites and have found that the have Central Sensitization Syndrome as a topic but the posts are very old. Just curious. I have gotten involved here on some other discussions but I don’t think they understand what I am dealing with and can’t relate. I know I have never heard of this before it happened to me. Pain is universal but this is not. You are in a different world when dealing with this. Those ladies and I have very similar symptoms as mine even though their other medical problems are different than mine and I found that odd. This has left me in a very awkward position. Maybe you can help.
